Things to do in Belize, Belize: The Best Art Galleries

November 29, 2021 Layne Dawes

According to famed diver Jacques Cousteau, the Great Blue Hole of Belize is one of the most spectacular dive sites on earth. The crystal-clear sapphire waters are home to colorful tropical fish and several species of reef sharks – ideal for brave divers who love to get up close and personal with sea life. On dry ground, diverse rainforests, mangrove swamps, and Mayan ruins are perfect for exploration. The beaches of Belize are sunny and tranquil spots for a day of relaxation.

Red Flower Gallery

Red Flower Gallery has a beautiful selection of paintings by artist Paulette Salo. She is very well known for classical murals in the US. The paintings here are all scenes of Caye Caulker. One of a kind gift handmade items jewelery, and beachware and the best bug spray you can find.

Reviewed By Gastineau - Seattle, United States

We didn’t go to Caye Caulker to shop. That said, we wandered in to learn more about the insect repellent sold here and stayed to hear some of Paulette’s life experiences and restaurant recommendations on the island. The local Belizean artwork for sale here is also worth looking at. Her paintings are delightful, colorful, and reflect much of life here. She also generously promotes other local artists on the island. She alone is worth a walk into the store. It’s a good place to hang during a tropical storm, too!

We commissioned Walter to paint a depiction of Hopkins Inn. We gave Walter some ideas of what we wanted included and let his creativity fill in the blanks. Walter visited Hopkins Inn to experience the place and people, developed a sketch on the canvas, and then produced a detailed piece of art he titled “Nice Vibes.” We love it!

Melody goes over and above on the island to provide a great experience for both visitors and those that live here. She creates wonderful art and has weekly classes where you can even take home a little piece of Belize that you paint yourself. She is kind, warm, welcoming, and will create and provide a wonderful Belize experience that I highly recommend!!

This store might be an arts and crafts store for the locals but is an excellent place for tourists to pick up souvenirs. They have everything from t-shirts and hats to collectible patches, spoons, and stickers, not to mention some of the best wood carvings around. There’s also a great coffee shop within that serves a wide variety of coffee and snacks. The Art Box is also a great pit stop between the airport and the resorts in the rainforest and beach. Clean bathrooms and a great excuse to stretch your legs. You won't leave empty-handed, I guarantee.
